I. Salt can dissolve in water because it is hydrophilic
II. Lipids cannot dissolve in water because they are non-polar
III. Cellulose can dissolve in water, as it is able to form hydrogen bonds
A. I only
B. I and III only

参考答案: C
本题详细解析:
Salt, an ionic compound, dissolves readily in wa+f/tx):6*e thb imv a6 qvmu.nter because water is a polar solvent and can interact with the charged ions in salt through electrostatic attractions. Substances that have an affinity for water and can form interactions with water molecules are referred to as hydrophilic (Statement I). Lipids are non-polar molecules, and water is a polar solvent. Polar and non-polar substances do not readily mix because water molecules are attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding and other dipole-t)vm/bu.axi h:m 6n6ft+veq* dipole interactions. Lipids are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water and do not dissolve well in it (Statement II). Choice C is, therefore, correct.
Although cellulose can form hydrogen bonds, it is insoluble (Statement III) as it is too large to dissolve in water; Choices B and D are therefore incorrect as they include this statement. Choice A is incorrect as it does not include statement II.
